[IDV #NIL-300617]: Bounding Box

Costa,

See the attached Jython script. I believe it draws the bounding box correctly.

I think you need to go through DataChce object to get what you want.

Also this link http://wind.mit.edu/~rkowch/jython/sepd/2dhzt.py is an excellent
example resource. Take some time to carefully study that page as well.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
